JANUARY 2015 POOL CLOSURE

The San Mateo Union High School District (SMUHSD) will be closing the Burlingame Aquatic Center from January 1, 2015 to January 31, 2015. The pool is slated to reopen on February 1, 2015.

During the closure the school maintenance staff will be conducting maintenance and repairs to the facility, including the locker rooms. While the Burlingame Aquatic Center is closed, some BAC programs have been temporarily relocated to other pools. Due to the sheer number of programs that we offer at the Burlingame pool, we are unable to accommodate all groups during the closure. Please see the information on this page for information on each program's schedule for January and what related adjustments will be made to member accounts.
